Today, King Abdullah told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" that Iraq is part of a regional crisis requiring a regional solution.
"We're juggling with the strong potential of three civil wars in the region," he said, adding that Iraq needs to be addressed in conjunction with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the turmoil in Lebanon.
"It is time that we really take a strong step forward as part of the international community," Abdullah said, "and make sure we avert the Middle East from a tremendous crisis that I fear and I see could possibly happen in 2007."
But critics question whether al-Maliki is in control of events in Iraq, and wonder whether Bush's meeting will lead to solutions.
"The president of the United States is going to spend, what, two days with this fiction — the fiction of an Iraqi government?" George Will said on "This Week." "The way we now define success, we're down to the most minimalist definition, which is: Success is a government in Baghdad that governs the country."
